Integration and legacy systems
How do I know whether to move, rebuild, or replace an old system?
Evaluate the system's business value, support status, security, reliability, cost, integration limits, and how much of it still works. Move it when the system is sound but the environment is the problem, rebuild when the core process is valuable but the technology is failing, and replace when the product no longer fits the business.
What to check
- Is the core process still valuable?
- Is the technology supported and secure?
- Would replacement solve more than migration or modernization?
